Consuming fat free foods has become one of the most popular ways for dieters to attempt to lose weight. Many dieters have unfortunately confused these foods with fat burning foods. Fat free foods are not beneficial towards weight loss for these foods are high in carbohydrates. Fat burning foods on the other hand are hand picked specifically for their ability to burn actual body fat tissue.

Why exactly then do dieters believe that fat free foods are effective foods for producing weight loss results? Because the weight loss industry has purposely confused dieters in to believing that these foods are the same as fat burning foods. You see, many people misinterpret the term fat free foods to mean that these foods will produce fat loss results. This is not true for these foods are several times more likely to produce weight gain than fat burning results.

Fat free foods are extremely high in carbohydrates and excess carbohydrates are stored in the body as fat tissue just as are excess fats. This is exactly why it is impossible to attain fat burning results with these foods because far too many carbohydrates are being consumed. Exactly how is it that fat free foods such as cookies, pastries, potato chips and ice cream are beneficial towards the weight loss process? How can eating cookies, pastries, potato chips and ice cream cause fat burning to take place when these are the types of foods that make our society fat in the first place? You’d be better suited signing up for a Smyrna personal trainer gym.

The bottom line is that fat free foods are fattening and not beneficial towards the weight loss process as advertised. These foods cause weight gain and in order to begin burning fat is necessary to consume fat burning foods. It is understandable however that many people will refuse to believe this fact because fat free foods causing weight loss sounds so reasonable to them. Unfortunately it is this ignorance towards the subject of fat burning that causes over 80% of american adults to be obese and in desperate need of weight loss.

Representation of Transdyn Controls. Our qualified scored a victory for our client Transdyn Controls in a suit against the City and County of San Francisco. Transdyn and its joint venture partner, Cresci Electric, Inc., were awarded a $10.6 million contract by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission for the design and installation of a system to monitor the quality and flow of the Bay Area’s water supply. Not long after our client received the award, a third party threatened a lawsuit challenging San Francisco’s minority subcontracting requirements on the grounds that they violate California’s Proposition 209. When the PUC attempted to rescind the award to Transdyn/Cresci and put the contract out for rebid, our lawyers obtained an immediate stay. The trial court ultimately denied our client’s petition for a writ of mandate compelling the PUC to execute the contract and proceed with Transdyn/Cresci as the contractor. In a published opinion, however, the California Court of Appeal reversed and directed the trial court to issue Transdyn/Cresci’s requested writ enforcing our client’s contract. Transdyn/Cresci v. City and County of San Francisco, 72 Cal.App. 4th 746 (1999).

We are not dependent on each other; nor are we independent of each other; we are all interdependent with each other.

Each of us has a personal sphere of influence of about 250 people. And so does every new person we meet.

All things being equal, people will do business with, and refer business to, those people they know, like, and trust.

It isn’t just what you know, and it isn’t just who you know.

Business cards are not a big deal. We need them mainly to get the other person’s card.

Sphere of Influence

Are you familiar with the term sphere of influence as something apart from typical lawyer SEO? Sphere of influence is simply the people you know — people who are somehow, some way a part of your life, directly or even very indirectly.

Your sphere of influence includes everyone from immediate family members to distant relatives: close friends to casual acquaintances, the person who delivers the mail, the plumber, the tailor, the person who cuts your hair — practically anybody who in some way touches your life and whose life you touch.

Those who know how to use the tremendous strength of a network realize this very important fact:

“We are not dependent on each other; nor are we independent of each other; we are all interdependent with each other.”

The true strength really comes through when we realize that all the people in our network are also part of other people’s networks that we ourselves don’t personally know. And that, indirectly, makes each of those people part of our network too.

Have you ever heard of Joe Girard? Based out of a Chevrolet dealership in Detroit, Michigan, he was one of the world’s most successful car salespeople. Officially, he was actually the most successful car salesperson in the world for 14 years. That’s how long he was listed in the Guiness Book of World Records for selling the most cars in the world in a year’s time.

In his book, How to Sell Anything to Anybody, Girard explains what he calls Girard’s Law of 250. Basically, the law states that each of us has a personal sphere of influence of about 250 people.

Therefore, figure that every time you meet someone new, that person, even that average person, also has about 250 people in his or her sphere of influence. You know that once that person becomes part of your network, another 250 people indirectly become part of your network as well. Cultivate a network of enough new people, and your personal sphere of influence will soar to incredible heights.

· Which implant is the best?

This is about as difficult a question to answer as “Which car is the best?”. There is a certain amount of individual preference to this decision and will affect your back pain after. With new materials and stem designs now being introduced, there is a matter of judgement about risk of taking on improved designs that may be unproven in the human body. By trying something that is new and improved you may need to take on some of that risk. That said, even the “old devices” seem to be constantly changing so it may not be as clear-cut to accept past record as an indicator of future performance as it may seem.

· My doctor said he is going to use a titanium implant, is that a good one?

I’m not sure why it seems many doctors are telling their patients this. Perhaps because titanium sounds high tech and they feel the patients will be reassured he is using the best metal for golf clubs. Titantium can be used in hip implants in the stem and on the backing of the acetabular component to create a rough surface for bone ingrowth. When used in a stem it has the advantage over cobalt-chrome in that is more flexible, so it will flex more with the bone. As for longevity, the metal of the stem is probably less important than other details such as the composition of the articulating surfaces (junction of ball-and-socket). Titanium is never used for the articulating surfaces because it is too soft.

· When is the right time to stop waiting and have surgery?

For me I was having significant pain in certain situations more than 4 years before I had surgery. I waited until it had advanced to where I had severe pain and joint stiffness after any exertion (such as doing yardwork or a lot of walking). My range of motion had been affected so much that climbing stairs was a problem and I could no longer ride a bike. The decision came down to one of quality of life — in order to avoid situations with a lot of standing or walking I was passing up a lot of activities to the point I felt my life had become one of only avoiding pain. Although I wasn’t in pain all the time, it was enough that at times I felt it was affecting my personality.
